Creating an account on Fandom is free, easy and a great way to join a passionate community of people who love what you love. Having an account also gives you extra abilities and features that unregistered users do not have access to. Your account will be used for each wiki, so you only need to create it once and you will be able to log in to any Fandom community.

Step by Step

Sign in menu

Sign-in links

  • On the bottom left of every page on all wikis, you will find links to Sign in and Register.
Sign up link

Account benefits

You don't have to create a user account to make a contribution to Fandom, but becoming a registered user will make your experience the best it can be. As a registered user, you are able to:

What to do if you can't create an account?

Possible reasons why you can't create an account:

  • Your requested username or a similar username is already taken.
  • Your age is not valid—you do not meet the minimum age requirement for your region.
  • Someone with your IP address has been globally banned/blocked from Fandom.
  • You are experiencing a loop. Try restarting your computer (or any other device) and clearing all cache/cookies/browser history in the last 24 hours.
  • The reCAPTCHA session expired because you didn't solve the challenge within 1 minute while creating an account.

If none of these reasons seem to apply, contact Fandom support for more assistance.

Adjusting your account

I forgot my password. What can I do?
If you forget your password, you can request a new temporary password be sent to you on the Log-in page.
Simply click on the Log-in text on the top right. You can then choose to have a new password emailed to you.
If you remember your password and simply want to change it, visit Special:ChangePassword.
Can my account be deleted?
It is not possible for accounts on Fandom to be fully deleted, but they can be disabled. Note: your contributions across Fandom remain.
Can I change my username?
If you want to use a different username, you can request an account rename. Please choose your new name wisely though, because it can only be changed once.
